RE: Reviving @newbieresteemday - You Can Help!

Thanks, @akomoajong

I knew about NRD but never really looked at it or I would say it never caught my attention until now that you have presented it.

It has been dormant for more than 6 months, so it is not a real surprise it didn't attract attention. We also had @newbiegames, which I was running. But it became too much of a stress-factor and a giant work load to keep it going on my own, so I decided to quit. One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make on SteemIt.

I want to avoid this to happen with NRD. So I'm taking it one step at a time, and see if it can be beneficial for newcomers somehow.
The thing is... I'm under the impression most people just don't give a sh*t...

Ah, time will tell, I guess. 😉

I have always wondered about the mystery behind your username, glad I got some in sights :)

The previous one was @mike314-0005. I mistyped it myself so often, lol. That's part of the reason I added the 'simply' in front 😉

Oh! @newbiegames was great but I could see the too hard work and never thought just one person was doing it :)

This is the case actually!

I'm not much a free man these days but if you need any help with any of these activities, you can count on me.

PS: That's probably the most difficult username on the chain. Sure, you probably had little or no one tagging it ever 😂 Also, what's with the Mike though? I have always known Mike to be a thingy for males. I have actually been holding myself from asking 🙊

@newbiegames started out as a team effort, but the last couple of months, I was on my own. Way too much to handle for a single person.

The 'Mike' originates from the time that I was making good money building and selling websites and promoting affiliate products. The income was huge at the time, but I didn't pay taxes, so it was a risk to use my own name. Now, Mike is very close to my real name (which is 'Mieke') and very generic. My last name is the most common name here in Belgium, so I didn't have to change that. The combination Mike Janssens was perfect - there must be hundreds of people with that name here 😅

Wow! Cool and interesting. Thank you for the clarifications 👍
